Brilliant Business Ideas – Business Ideas for Stay at Home Parents

To start a family or not start a family, that is the question. Some people feel that to bring a child into this world is wrong given the state of affairs. There is pollution, military unrest, global warming, and economic strife. Raising children can put a huge strain on your budget almost indefinitely and provide you with sleepless nights. On the other hand, we have an innate drive to propagate the species, to pass on our genetic lineage as well as our religious and familial traditions. And let’s face it, babies are so dang cute!

This is the story of a couple, we’ll call them Jan and George. Jan and George met in their late 20’s and had lots of fun dancing at the Renaissance Faire, going on driving road trips to wherever their hearts desired. George was a loan officer and Jan a bookkeeper at an advertising agency. They had all the time they wanted for themselves and the money to do what they wanted. Trips to Hawaii, Fiji, even European vacations were on their travel menu. It was a good life and a fun life with hardly a care in the world.

Jan and George went on like this for many years, living and enjoying life freely. Then one day a fork popped up in their road. One way to stay the way they were, the other way to start a family. What to do? They figured that they were not getting any younger and they had already done a lot of things that most people do after they raise a family and are retired. So the decision was made and they increased the population with a handsome boy followed two years later a beautiful girl. It turned out, however, that the handsome boy was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 years and needed to be looked after always, even at school. How can a parent be there for a child if they must go to and be at a traditional office job? They can’t. And so the search for brilliant business ideas for stay at home parents began.

If you are a parent that wants to work from home how do you find a business model that will suit you? There are certain criteria you can work with as you search. First on the list is whether you want to work for another person or do you want to be your own boss. There are many jobs that can be done from your home where you work for someone else such as; data entry, bookkeeping, medical transcription, and assembly work, just to name a few. Another idea is to take something you love to do and teach others to do it from your own home. Teaching yoga, personal training, art classes, or cooking classes are great ideas for a home business. An additional way you can make money from home is to do professional work like accounting, counseling, advertising, or law work.

There are also opportunities to be your own boss, work from home, and have the support of a company. This allows you to work own your own when and where you want but have access to business systems, such as marketing tools (both online and traditional), training for the business, and a community of like-minded entrepreneurs that encourage each other by sharing ideas, strategies, and techniques of what is working right now. Not only that but there is the potential to earn an executive salary without the restriction of having to commute to an office, be responsible for the work others do, or working overtime to complete a project.

Well, Jan and George thought that this truly was a brilliant idea and found an excellent company that they could earn with and also travel the world in luxury for a fraction of the cost. They were home to take care of both their son and their daughter. Jan was able to spend many hours volunteering at their school and they continued their habit of road trips and vacations. They live a life that is unique but really, anyone can have.
